Reader, are you burdened with cares,
and is the roadway hot and dry and
dusty, and do you feel like fainting
by the wayside? If SO, cheer up and
find comfort in the blessed thought
that all these things will one day end,
and pass away. Are you a sad victim
of disappointment, and is your face
now catching the pitiless peltings of
misfortune's iciest and stormest win
ter? If SO, remember that as the wild
est beatings of the coolest winter yield
to the odor-filled breath Of the vernal
season and pass away, SO will the rig
ors and tempests of life's hardest win
ter lose their power and their fury, and
will one day end and pass away. Is
your heart filled up with the sad, sad
ruins of blighted and crushed and
shattered dreams, and do you find
scattered here and there in mournful
heaps the sharpened thorns of bitter
memories? 1fso, remember that these
will also fade and pass away. Are
you forced to wear sorrows crown o
sorrow by remembering happier days
and are you keeping in sacred and
sweetest nursery the old faded letters,
all crumpled and yellow, once bright
and beautiful evidences Of love which
burned and glowed so warmly and Sc
radiantly, but now cold and dead, and
with nothing around it but ashes. Arr
you3 Ifso, remember that even these
memories, and all Of the relics tina
love used to wear will one day enc

Selection of Seeds.

1 The failure of seeds to germi- nate is a source of a great deal of irritation whenever it occurs, and it sometimes involves serious loss to the farmer. Replanting can be resorted to in case of failure, but it requires time and labor, both of which are particularly valuable in the spring. Besides, it almost invariably fails to fully remedy the difficulty which it was designed to meet. In the case of onions fail. ure of the seed is equivalent to a heavy loss, for late sowing will not give a full crop, To quite an extent the same is true of oats, apd in less, though very percep. tible degree, it applies to other farm and garden crops.
 In order to avoid the vexaton and loss inseparable to such a fail. ure it is well to test sample of each kind of seed that is to be sown, for the appearance of seeds is not a correct indication of their value. They may look as if they were perfectly sound, yet by age,  or exposure to heat or moisture, they may have lost their vitality. Many seeds are injured by some mistake in drying or by being stored in an improper place.
 Therefore it is always best to try sample before the seeds are s0wn'
 The seeds can he tested in a cold frame, in box ofwell ,prepar- ed earth placed in some sunny position, or even in the house. if they are needed before they can be tried by other methods. This plan seems preferable to testing in damp cotton, because it comes nearer the conditions which will prevail in the soil. By planting 100 or some other definite number of seeds, and counting the plants wllch appear, pretty accurate opinion of the proportion which will grow in a field can be formed. The test should be very carefully made. Otherwise really good seeds may be condemned as worth. less.

AGRICULTURAL.
Horses Overfed.

Many farmers ovcrfeed their horses, and in fact most of them do. They seem to think horse must eat all the time because they will very nearly. if allowed to dc so This is all wrong. \ horse should be limited in the amount of hay or straw given to 1t, and the limit should be graduated by the kind of work required of it. A horse for fast driving, or d road ster, should not have more than two or three pounds of forage, at most, and it will perform better with a less quantity because there will be less pressure on the dla- plllagm and, consequently, more room for the expansion of the lungs.
 Many horses are fed too much grain. If horse fed strongly does not do well, give less meal or oats and more coarse bran. Give it ginger for Il tonic, if nee essary-h0rses often have hatu- lemcy and collie. X little bi-carb0 nate of soda Ga teaspoontuD with the food will help d horse which does not thrive on a liberal feed ing Regular doses of Chamber salts with the grain are good, as the salts will correct the aeidity of the stomach, prevent fatulency, and cool the blood by carrying off fever germs, or in other words salts will cleanse the stomach and bowels and will prevent the ab- sorption of foul and poisonous matter. X clear stomach is nee essary for health and good diges- ton.
